Thats great. Was the meditation in prison something that was part of the program or did you pick it up on your own. I saw a story on a podcast a couple of years ago where some people took Vipassana practice into prisons, it was the most "rubber hitting the road" moment for some of the men, it transformed them and cut through what appeared to be some of the most impregnable psychological barriers one can imagine.
